4. Datgel DGD Tool Program: gINT Rules DLL program / class library, which is referenced by
the custom gINT Library and Project databases, and is installed on client PCs. Incorporates
code for validation and calculations that return a result to the project. For example, the SPT
and Core table calculations are here. A USB or software key license must be activated or
validated for this.
1.2 Installation
In addition to the following section this blog maybe useful: https://www.datgel.com/installation-and-
quick-start-for-gint-and-datgel-gint-add-ins
1.2.1 For a fresh installation of gINT and the Tool

Install the following applications:
1. gINT v10 Connect Edition – see question How do I install gINT v10 Connect Edition? on
https://www.datgel.com/gint-faq.
2. Datgel DGD Tool program. To install, run the setup.exe. After installation, validate or
activate the user license as described in Chapter 2 of the Datgel Product Licensing System
User Guide.
The custom gINT Files (*.gpj, *.gdt, *.glb, *.gcx, *.gci, *.gas) should be stored on your
organisation’s file server and backed up daily.
Place the *.gdt, *.glb, *.gcx, *.gci and *.gas files in a non-project specific folder on your file
server, for example R:\gINT\
Now open gINT, and open the dgdt lib 4.##.glb Library, using command File > Change Library.
Then open the example project database dgdt 4.##.gpj.
If you are the first to use this set of gINT files in your company, you will need to apply further
configuration. Refer to section 20 Configuration.
1.2.2 For an upgrade to an existing installation:

Install the following applications:
1. gINT Professional Plus V8i package only, assuming the 3 dependencies were previously
installed.
2. Datgel DGDT program. To install, run the setup.exe.
Customise gINT user files:
1. If you only made trivial changes to the last version of the library and project, such as applying
your logo and office, it will be a simple process to merge the library objects into the new library
and apply the default value again to the Project.Office field.
2. If more in depth changes were made, please contact Datgel for specialised advice.
1.3 Product Compatibility Upgrade

This upgrade is necessary if you install a new Datgel product after February 2015, and also have an
existing Datgel product from prior to February 2015. The change is necessary as a result of changes to
the Microsoft.NET framework.
There are two scenarios, based on your system privileges.
DGD Tool – Datgel

1.3.1 Scenario 1: you do not have privileges to do the upgrade.
The following message is displayed after starting a Datgel product.
3. Click OK.
4. Advise your system administrator that the upgrade is needed.
Note: You might be able to continue working without the upgrade, but the products could be unreliable
1.3.2 Scenario 2: you do have privileges to do the upgrade.

The following message is displayed after starting a Datgel product.
1. Click Yes.
The procedure must be completed by a user that has administrative privileges for the PC.
The software makes a backup copy of the existing gINT configuration file and inserts the
changes Datgel software needs.
The following message is displayed if the process completes successfully.
DGD Tool – Datgel

2. Click OK.
3. Restart gINT.
Note: If you experience any difficulties in applying this procedure please contact Datgel’s support team.
1.4 File Types and Locations

To assist new users of gINT this section introduces file locations and file types regularly encountered.
1.4.1 General file locations

 Program Installation folder: C:\Program Files\Bentley or C:\Program Files
(x86)\Bentley
 Custom files: C:\Users\Public\Documents\Bentley
 User specific setting files: C:\Users\<User name>\AppData\Local\Bentley\gINT
1.4.2 *.GLB - Library

This contains all reports, symbols, most lookup lists, and library tables. Ideally your company or office
should have one library which has all the reports in use in one file, however technically you can have as
many GLB files as required, with names that you assign.
Location: The Library File property in System Properties sets the location and name of the current
library. This can be viewed and changed with File > System Properties or File > Change Library
menu item in any application.
1.4.3 *.GPJ - Project Database

These files contain the data from the Input application, hence the project specific information.
Location: The default folder is specified in the Projects property of the File > System Properties menu
item. However, you can move them.
1.4.4 *.GDT - Data Template

These files store the structure and input formatting of project databases. You use these to create new
projects through the cloning process, and reports use them to display the database structure in the data
tool (also can use a *.GPJ for this).
Location: The default folder is specified in the Data Templates property of the File > System
Properties menu item. However, you can move them.
1.4.5 *.GDW - Drawing

These are drawing files that are not connected to any project or data template. They are accessed in
the Drawings > General Drawing application. Each General Drawing file can contain as many pages
as required. The Output application group can send content to a GDW file via the Export option. GDW
files are somewhat dependent upon the library since it references SYMBOLS in the library used when it
was created.
DGD Tool – Datgel

Location: The default folder is specified in the Drawings property of the File > System Properties
menu item. However, they can be located anywhere.
1.4.6 SETUP.GSH
This file contains the information shown in the File > System Properties dialog, and stores the user
settings along with previous current project, PointID, page from each application, and the recent file
lists.
Location: C:\Users\<User name>\AppData\Local\Bentley\gINT
1.4.7 *.GCI / *.GCX – Import/Export Correspondence

A correspondence file tells the program the mapping between the tables and fields in the source and
the target files.
Location: The default folder is specified in the Data Template property of the File > System Properties
menu item. However, you can move them.
1.4.8 *.GSC – Script

A script file is an ASCII file with a list of commands for gINT to follow. Often this is a list of OUTPUT
operations such as reports to export or print.
Location: The default folder is specified in the Scripts property of the File > System Properties menu
item. However, they can be located anywhere.
1.4.9 *.DTY – Coordinate File

This file stores custom/user defined coordinate systems, and is created by Bentley Map, and
referenced by the gINT coordinate tool.
Location: The file location is specified in the Custom Coordinate property of the File > System
Properties menu item.
1.4.10 *.GAS – gINT AGS Schema

This file defines a non-standard AGS format standard. For example, different data types, units, or
additional headings and groups. This file must be manually created in a text editor. An example for
standard AGS4 is provided here C:\Program Files (x86)\Bentley\gINT V8i\bin\ags4
dict.gas.
1.5 Configure Optimal System Properties

By setting the correct system properties configuration you can use of gINT more efficiently, and improve
the quality of reporting.
1. Select INPUT | File > System Properties, and configure:

2. Set file location defaults.
 Set Project Database and Drawings to the top of the folder hierarchy where you store
project data
 Set Data Template, Scripts and Custom coordinate to the non-project specific folder on
your file server, e.g. R:\gINT\. Also store the library here.
 Check the box, Allow more than one user to open a file for editing
3. Page Defaults
DGD Tool – Datgel

4. Data Entry
Check the box for Omit ‘Must Save’ prompt when save is required.
5. gIDraw
If you cannot see the drawing cursor in drawing applications, then check Use small drawing
cursor.
6. Output
 Set Unspecified Line Thickness (inches): 0.007
 Set Unspecified Point Thickness (inches): 0.01
 Set Number of digits to force sci. notation on frame divisions: 9
 Check Boundary Line inserted below last text segment at a depth.
7. DXF Files
No change
8. General
If you wish to use Database Design, Report Design etc., you must uncheck Hide Design
Applications. This is now unchecked by default.
You may like to adjust the Automatic File Backups option.
DGD Tool – Datgel

2 Input
The INPUT application is where project data is entered, and is the primary area where data can be
imported and exported.
2.1 Make a new Microsoft Access format Project

To make a new Access format Project File:
1. Select INPUT | File > New Project or the (new) icon > Clone Data Template…
2. Browse to the data template dgdt 4.##.gdt, and click Open
3. Name the new project file, and click Save
2.2 Database Structure

The project database tables are grouped and ordered in a logical way, with borehole-related table
groups first in the list, followed by in situ testing, lab testing, and then other tables.
Figure 1 – INPUT with tree and tab navigation
DGD Tool – Datgel

2.3 Logo
The logo on all reports is controlled by the field PROJECT.Office. This allows the library to be configured
with multiple organisation brandings, and you can easily select the required branding.
See section 20.2 Configuring Logos in the Library for further details.
2.4 Importing Pre-Existing Data from Old Project Structure

It is possible to import data from your old project structure. How easy that will be depends upon if your
old structure is similar to those Datgel has developed import correspondence files for. The standard
import correspondence files are:
 ags 3.1 rta 1.1 06.2 gint db to dgdt-dlst #.## ##.gci – use with database
import to import a AGS RTA project database into a DGDT project database.
 gint std ags 3.1 w lab tables to dgd-dlst #.## ##.gci gci – use with
database import to import a gINT standard AGS 3.1 project database into a DGDT project
database.
 gint std australia to dgd-dlst #.## ##.gci gci – use with database import to
import a standard Australia gINT project database into a DGDT project database.
You can use these with the following gINT features:
1. UTILITIES | Convert Projects

2. INPUT | File | Import/Export > Import from Database…
3. INPUT | File | Import/Export > Batch Import from Database…
One can edit or make new correspondence files in DATA DESIGN | Correspondence Files. It is likely
to be cheaper to get Datgel to develop this for you on a consulting basis rather than do this in house, as
it is not a skill you will use on a regular basis. This is a native gINT feature, and if you require technical
support you should contact your gINT Technical Support provider.
2.5 General Data Entry

The simplest way to produce your first gINT log is to use Graphical Data Input, rather than Grid Input.
This can be accessed under Additional Modules > Graphical Data Input or by clicking the following
icon . You can then see a representation of the log on the screen and click the data area of
interest. The associated tables will popup.
To change the report you are working on, go to File > Select Report for Input. To change PointID
when in Graphical Data Input, double-click anywhere on the log image to bring up the grid sub form,
then click Select PointID to bring up the PointID list, then select the desired PointID.
DGD Tool – Datgel

Figure 2 – Graphical Data Input
The alternative is Grid Input which is a spreadsheet type interface. This is faster and more convenient
for users with experience of the data structure. This interface is always the default and can be returned
to by clicking the Grid Data Input tab.
2.6 Log output option fields

Option fields exist on PROJECT, POINT, PROJECT_OPTIONS and POINT_OPTIONS.
Figure 3 – POINT table log output option fields
DGD Tool – Datgel

2.6.1 Metres per page
Fields Depth Log Page and Fit to One Page on POINT and PROJECT override report level defaults for metres
per page. Applied to all log reports.
2.6.2 Break depth and between non cored and cored logs
POINT.Depth Borehole / Corehole Break: Depth at which borehole stops and core hole begins; If the borehole
contains core only then set this field to 0, if the borehole has non-core only then leave this field blank.
Applies to:
 Log | IS AU BOREHOLE 1
 Log | IS AU CORED BOREHOLE 1
 Log | IS NZ BOREHOLE CONTAM 1
 Log | IS NZ DRILLHOLE 1
 Log | IS NZ DRILLHOLE 2
 Log | IS UK BOREHOLE
 Log | IS UK DRILLHOLE
2.6.3 Display end of hole remark above depth to avoid overlaps

POINT.EOH Above Depth: Check if end of hole remark is to display above the hole depth. This maybe to
avoid an additional page just to show a remark, or to stop text running into footer.
2.6.4 Optional manual override for column on right of logs

Used by a limited number of logs to define if DCP, Piezometer or Additional Observations data will
display in column on right side of log. Applies to:
 Log | IS AU BOREHOLE CONTAM 1

 Log | IS AU TEST PIT 3
2.6.5 Rock Fracture Data representation on logs

POINT.Fracture Column and PROJECT OPTIONS.Fracture Column Used by a limited number of logs to define if
Rock Fracture will display as Average Defect Spacing or Fracture Frequency. Applies to:

DGD Tool – Datgel

2.7 SPT Data
The SPT calculation is designed to support BS, ASTM and AS methods. Note:
 If you use a test method that records three intervals, then enter the results in columns 1, 3, and
5.
 Default Penetration interval values are set on the PROJECT table in fields Default SPT Pen 1 3 5
and Default SPT Pen 2 4 6. For AS/ASTM set the former to 150 and later blank, and for BS set
both to 75.
 The N Value and Reported Result fields both must be empty for the basic SPT calculation to take
place. The N60 calculation will take place regardless as long at the N Value is defined or
calculated.
 The calculation for N Value and Reported Result fields have options defined on Project Options:
o SPT Sample Type: Sample Type used when auto generating Sample table record for an
SPT with recovery
o SPT N Value Refusal: Blank for nothing, or set a number such as 50 or 100
o SPT Reported Result N value Refusal: select from a drop down list of syntax: N=R, N>50,
N>100, or N=##/##mm
o SPT Reported Result Length Unit: Select from a lookup list of m, cm or mm
o SPT Star Suffix for Recovery: Check to populate Reported Result with N* when Recovered
Length is > 0
 Pore Pressure, Total Stress and Effective Stress are calculated based on the Depth and data
entered in the Project Options and Point Options tables.
Table 2 – SPT Supported Test Methods
Standard Description
AS 1289.6.3.1-2004 Determination of the penetration resistance of a soil - Standard penetration test (SPT)
BS1377-9:1990:3.1 Standard Penetration Test
Figure 4 – SPT Test Tables
DGD Tool – Datgel

Data Entry Procedure:
1. Enter the Top depth of the test and select the Type of test undertaken.
2. If you enter the Recovered Sample Length, a Sample table record will be created corresponding with
the SPT test depth range.
3. For the British Standard method:
a) Enter the Self Weight Penetration, i.e. the penetration under the rod and hammer weight.
b) Enter the blow count recorded for each increment in the applicable blows field (Blows 1st,
Blows 2nd, Blows 3rd, Blows 4th, Blows 5th and Blows 6th).
c) Each increment penetration field (Pen 1st, Pen 2nd, Pen 3rd, Pen 4th, Pen 5th and Pen 6th) is
automatically populated with a default value of 75 mm and this can be overridden with the
actual increment penetration value for each respective blow count.
For the Australian Standard method:

a) Enter the Rod Weight Penetration and Hammer Weight Penetration if applicable
b) Enter the blow count recorded for each increment in the applicable blows field (Blows 1st,
Blows 3rd, and Blows 5th).
c) Each increment penetration field (Pen 1st, Pen 3rd, and Pen 5th) is automatically populated
with a default value of 150 mm and this can be overridden with the actual increment
penetration value for each respective blow count.
4. The Seating Blows, Main Blows, Total Pen, N Value and Reported Result will be automatically calculated
when you change table or click save (Ctrl+S).
Note: N Value and Reported Result must be empty for the row to calculate
5. If you have entered data on the In Situ Point Options and / or In Situ Project Options tables, then the
Total Stress, Effective Stress and CN fields will be automatically calculated when you change table
or click save (Ctrl+S).
6. To calculate the N60 and (N1)60 values, see the following detailed explanation below in Section
2.7.1.
2.7.1 Correlations
The primary reference for the N60 and (N1)60 calculations was Skempton (1986). Table 3 has been
reproduced from the paper and presents the correction values used the in the N60 and (N1)60
calculations.
Table 3 – SPT Field Procedure Corrections (Skempton 1986)
Factor Value Equipment Variable
Energy Ratio (𝐶𝐸𝑅 ) 0.90 Safety Hammer

0.75 Donut Hammer
Borehole Diameter (𝐶𝐵 ) 1.00 65 to 115 mm

1.05 150 mm
1.15 200 mm
Sampling Method (𝐶𝑆 ) 1.00 Standard Sampler

1.20 Sampler without liner
Rod Length (𝐶𝑅 ) 1.00 > 10 m

0.95 6 to 10 m
0.85 4 to 6 m
DGD Tool – Datgel

0.75 3 to 4 m
These correction values are each stored in the library file and; depending on the data entered into the
Hammer Type, Borehole Diameter, Sampling Method and Rod Length fields; the appropriate value from the library
table will be written to the corresponding CER, CB, CS, and CR field and used to calculate the N60 and
(N1)60 values, when you change table or click save (Ctrl+S).
The Corrected N Value (N60) is defined as:
𝐶𝐸𝑅 ∙ 𝐶𝐵 ∙ 𝐶𝑆 ∙ 𝐶𝑅 ∙ 𝑁
𝑁60 =
0.6
Total Stress (σvo) is defined as:
𝐼𝑓 𝑧 < 𝑧w 𝑜𝑟 𝑧w 𝑖𝑠 𝑛𝑢𝑙𝑙 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑛 𝜎𝑣𝑜 = 𝑧 ∙ 𝛾
𝐼𝑓 𝑧 ≥ 𝑧w 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑛 𝜎𝑣𝑜 = 𝑧w ∙ 𝛾 + (𝑧 − 𝑧w ) ∙ 𝛾𝑠
Where:
𝑧 is Top depth on the SPT table
𝑧ω is Groundwater Depth on the In Situ Point Options table (or In Situ Project Options table if there is no
value on the In Situ Point Options table)
𝛾 is Bulk Unit Weight on the In Situ Point Options table (or In Situ Project Options table if there is no value
on the In Situ Point Options table)
𝛾𝑠 is Bulk Unit Weight Saturated on the In Situ Point Options table (or In Situ Project Options table if there is
no value on the In Situ Point Options table)
Effective Stress (σvo’) is defined as:
𝐼𝑓 𝑧 < 𝑧w 𝑜𝑟 𝑧w 𝑖𝑠 𝑛𝑢𝑙𝑙 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑛 𝜎′𝑣𝑜 = 𝜎𝑣𝑜
𝐼𝑓 𝑧 ≥ 𝑧w 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑛 𝜎′𝑣𝑜 = 𝜎𝑣𝑜 − (𝑧 − 𝑧ω ) ∙ 𝜌𝑤 ∙ 𝑔
Where:
𝑧 is Top depth on the SPT table
𝑧ω is Groundwater Depth on the In Situ Point Options table (or In Situ Project Options table if there is no
value on the In Situ Point Options table)
𝜌𝑤 is Water Density In Situ on the In Situ Project Options table
𝑔 is Gravity
The Overburden Correction Factor (CN) proposed by Liao and Whitman (1986) is defined as:
100 0.5
𝐶𝑁 = ( )
σ′vo
The N Value corrected for Overburden Pressure ((N1)60) is defined as:
(𝑁1 )60 = CN ∙ 𝑁60

2.8 Point Load Test (Is(50))
2.8.1 Manual Data Entry

The Point Load Test table is located in the Lab-Rock table group. Before entering data here, you first
must have:
 SAMPLE record, typically the core run which is automatically created when data is entered in the
CORE table.
 SPECIMEN record. Select the correct Sample record on the top half of the screen, then on the
bottom half of the screen enter the depth of the Is(50) test(s). Later you will see that multiple
Is(50) tests may be entered for the one depth.
 Lab-Rock | Point Load Test record. Enter data such as Test Method, Tested By, and Tested Date.
Now on the bottom half of the screen enter multiple tests with different Test Numbers. You may enter just
the Test Type and Is 50 value or you can enter the relevant brown fields and the green/green-brown fields
will calculate.
Table 4 – Point Load Strength Supported Test Methods
ISRM Part II:1985:6 Suggested Method for Determining Point Load Strength
To calculate the Is(50), you must first select the standard from the Test Method field on the Point Load table
that the specimen is being tested against.
Enter the test data in the data entry fields in the lower table and click Save, Ctrl+S or change table to
initiate the calculation. The values will be calculated automatically and the result will be displayed in the
calculated fields.
DGD Tool – Datgel

Figure 5 – Point Load Test Table
After a record is entered for the first time and saved, the first row will automatically copy down for fields
where it might be useful.
The field Number to Exclude from Is50 Mean on Point Load Test (upper) table defines the number of highest and
lowest values to exclude from point load strength test mean (eg. If Number to Exclude from Is50 Mean is 2,
the two highest and the two lowest values will be excluded for the mean calculation). The excluded
tests are shown in the Exclude From Mean check box.The net mean is written to the Point Load Test (upper)
table.
Moisture contents for each specimen are recorded in the Moisture Content table.
2.8.2 Point Load Test Form Add-In

This Tool allows you to efficiently enter Is50 results, without the need to manually create Specimen and
Point Load Strength records.
To Launch the Tool go to INPUT and select the command Add-Ins > Datgel DGD Tool > Point Load

You can have many tests in one PointID, and tests can start at any depth. The test start Depth below
ground level is entered on top half of screen. The Penetration Top/Bottom are relative to the test start Depth.
Note that although we can enter many tests in one PointID, the log reports are not designed to deal with
this.
Data can be entered by Depth or Blow, as defined in Reading Type field.
2.9.1.1 Data Entry Procedure by Depth:

1. Enter the Depth, the appropriate Type, Test Method, Reading Type as Depth, CBR Analysis Method and
Allowable Bearing Capacity Analysis Method in the DCP (upper) table.
2. When you change table, row or click save (Ctrl+S), the Hammer Mass, Standard Drop, Cone Base
Diameter, Rod Diameter, Anvil Damper, Cone Depth, Cone Angle Rod Mass and Depth Increment fields will
also be automatically written to the DCP (upper) table. You can change the Depth Increment field if
it is necessary.
When you move to the DCP (lower) table, the Penetration Top, Penetration Bottom and Increment Length
fields will be automatically populated to 30 m and increasing by depth increments based on the
value given in the Depth Increment field on the DCP (upper) table.

3. Enter the number of Blows for each increment. Click save (Ctrl+S) and the Penetration Blow,
Penetration Rate, In Situ CBR and Allowable Bearing Capacity will be calculated and the Top Depth and
Increment Length fields that have no corresponding data in the Blows field will be deleted. The
Cumulative Blows values will also be calculated.
4. If the standard increment is not achieved (e.g. at the refusal depth – see Figure 7) then the
Penetration Bottom and Increment Length values should be edited to show the actual increment
length achieved.

2.9.1.2 Data Entry Procedure by Blow:

1. Set the Depth, the appropriate Type, Test Method, Reading Type as Blow, Zero Reading (Initial value
for Blows Calibration), Blow Increment, CBR Analysis Method and Allowable Bearing Capacity Analysis
Method in the DCP (upper) table.
DGD Tool – Datgel

2. When you change table, row or click save (Ctrl+S), the Hammer Mass, Standard Drop, Cone Base
Diameter, Rod Diameter, Anvil Damper, Cone Depth, Cone Angle Rod Mass and Depth Increment fields will
also be automatically written to the DCP (upper) table.
When you move to the DCP (lower) table, the Blows and Cumulative Blows fields will be
automatically populated. The Cumulative Blows field will be populated to 1000 and increasing by
blow increments based on the value given in the Blow Increment field on the DCP (upper) table.
Figure 8 – DCP by Blow Example

3. Enter the Penetration to Blow Raw for each increment. Click save (Ctrl+S) and the Penetration Top,
Penetration Bottom, Penetration to Blow, Increment Length, Penetration Rate, In Situ CBR and
Allowable Bearing Capacity will be calculated and the Blows and Cumulative Blows fields that have no
corresponding data in the Penetration to Blow Raw field will be deleted (see Figure 9).

2.13 Site Maps

Before trying to work with Site Maps in gINT, verify that the Site Maps module has been enabled.
Select Additional Modules and confirm there is a next to the Site Maps Support item.
2.13.1 Importing DXF files

Drawing file type site maps are stored in the Site Maps group.
gINT only supports the import of DXF files saved in the AutoCAD Version 12 DXF file format.
To import a site map, first move to the Site Maps group, then select File > Import/Export > DXF
Import, and browse to the DXF file to import.
Assuming that the information in the original DXF file was stored on separate layers, you can use the
(Layer) button or the Modify > Layer menu item to display a list of the layer properties. From the
window that is displayed, you can choose to Hide, Lock, change the Colour of the entities on a
particular layer or Delete the entire layer; with the exception of Layer 0 which cannot be hidden or
deleted.
DGD Tool – Datgel

Import only the data and layers that you need, hence edit DXF file in a CAD software before importing.
Our experience is DXF files in excess of 30 MB will cause gINT Site Map to be unusably slow.
2.13.2 Referencing ECW files

Geocoded Image (such as Ortho-rectified Aerial Photographs) Site Maps are also defined in the Site
Maps group.
gINT only supports geocoded images that are in the Enhanced Compression Wave (ECW) file format.
Use the Site Maps group to reference a Geocoded Image. Select File > Import/Export > Import
Geocoded Photo, and browse to the ECW file to reference.
You can edit the properties of the image, such as the Print Order or the Layer it is stored on, by double
clicking on it to bring up the properties window. Once you have completed any required changes, click
OK to save the changes (or Cancel to undo any changes) and to return to the Site Map view.
Alternatively, a less convenient way to display images in site map is using the menu item Draw >
Graphics > In Place Bitmap Symbol….

2.14 Alignments
Alignment data can be used on the Fence Reports, and to calculate chainage/offset from East/North for
PointIDs.
DGD Tool – Datgel

Before trying to Import an Alignment into gINT, verify that the Alignments module has been enabled.
Select Additional Modules and confirm there is a next to the Alignments Support item.
2.14.1 Importing an Alignment

Alignments are stored in the Main Group | Alignments table.
gINT only supports alignments that are in the LandXML, Excel or CSV file format.
To import an alignment, you should move to the Alignments table. Then select File > Import/Export >
Import Alignment, and select the xml file to import.
The Alignment (upper) table contains the general information about the alignment. After an alignment
has been imported, you can add additional attributes for it by selecting or entering values into the
Description, Initial Station, Alignment Line Type, Alignment Line Thickness, Alignment Line Colour and corresponding
“Z” fields.
The “Z” lines are optionally associated with each alignment and allow for the storage of a vertical profile
along the alignment. These line thicknesses are by default stored in millimetres, but you can override
this by checking the Line Thickness in inches field. If you do not want to display the alignment line on your
site maps, check the Do not display on Site Maps field for the relevant alignment.
The Alignment (lower) table contains the Northing and Easting values of the alignment and up to 3
optional Z values. The Station, AKA Chainage, field is read only as it is automatically populated by gINT
and it records the distance along the alignment, based on the Initial Station value in the Alignment (upper)
table.
The Z fields could hold the vertical alignment, natural ground surface, or invert of a tunnel. This data
also displays on the fence reports.

2.15 Drapes
Fence Drapes are vertical planes in 3D space, hence when viewed in plan appear as a polyline. They
are commonly used to store a geophysical interpretation or a vertical profile drawing along a linear
structure, and can be displayed as a projected onto a 2D Fence output. They are stored in the Input |
Fence Drapes group and there is no limitation on the number of drapes that can be stored in a project
file.
Before trying to import a Fence Drapes into gINT, verify that the Fence Drapes module has been
enabled. Select the Additional Modules menu and confirm there is a next to the Fence Drapes
Support item.
Fence Drapes are a gINT Drawing object (such as an imported DXF file or image) that is stored in the
project file and they are defined by a name, and the coordinates of the Drape line in plan or an
associated Alignment. To add a Fence Drape to your project file, select the Input | Fence Drapes
group and click the (new) icon, or select File > New.
You should then enter a Name for the Drape and either:
 the Coordinates (as a series of East and North values) and optionally specify the Initial Station
if required; or
 choose an Alignment if one already exists in your project file. This option has the advantage
that the alignment is displayed in the site map, which most users will prefer.
DGD Tool – Datgel

Enter only one of Coordinates or an Alignment, not both
The Page Size and Orientation properties are only used if printing directly from with the Drapes
application.
The drapes themselves are drawn in the same way you draw any gINT Drawing object, however the
scales differ:
 The X axis is the distance along the drape line

 The Y axis is defined as the elevation
Figure 17 – Fence Drape showing a seismic section
2.15.1 Importing an Image into a Fence Drape

Once you have defined the name of the Fence Drape:
1. Select Draw > Graphics > In Place Bitmap Symbol.

2. Click the Load Bitmap Symbol button to open a Windows Explorer window; where you
should browse to the location of the alignment file
3. Specify either the Override Height or Override Width of the image (in metres)
4. Specify the Override Horz Align and Override Vert Align of the insertion point of the image
5. Define the X and Y values Align to determine the insertion point of the image relative to the
Override Horz Align and Override Vert Align
To view the Fence Drape image, ensure that Show at Design Time is checked
2.15.2 Importing a DXF into a Fence Drape

Once you have defined the name of the Fence Drape:
1. Select File > Import/Export > DXF Import
DGD Tool – Datgel

A Windows Explorer window opens, where you should browse to the location of the DXF file.
2. Select the file and click Open. The drawing is imported into your gINT project file.
gINT supports DXF release 12.
2.16 Surfaces
Before trying to work with Surfaces in gINT, verify that the Surfaces module has been enabled. Select
the Additional Modules menu and confirm there is a next to the Surfaces Support item.
The Surfaces group allows you to store surface definitions, such as the ground surface level, geological
unit boundaries, finial design elevation and piezometric surfaces. gINT supports both grid surfaces and
TIN or DTM surfaces.
Surfaces can be displayed on Fence reports, and queried by gINT Rules.
Grid surfaces can’t be generated within gINT, however data used to generate a surface representing
the top of a geological unit can be exported. TIN surfaces can be generated by gINT using INPUT |
Additional Modules > DTM to LandXML…, and the generated XML file can be imported into
Surfaces.
2.16.1 Export Contour Data and Importing Grid Files

You can model a grid surface from your data by exporting it to a contouring program, such as Surfer, by
using the File > Import/Export > Export Contouring Data option in the Input application.
Further information can be found on how to do this via the gINT Help file; Help > Index. Enter “Export
Contouring Data” in the keyword field.
If you have already created a surface grid file, you can import it into your gINT project file.
In the simplest form the grid may be imported from a delimited XYZ file. The grid needs to be
rectangular, orientated N-S/E-W, have no holes, and be perfectly regular. Grid nodes with no data
must be set to 1E10 or greater.
To add a Surface grid to your project file, use the Input | Surfaces group and click the (new) icon, or
select File > New.
1. Enter a Name for the surface grid and optionally add a Description.
2. Select the Line Type, Enter a Thickness (in inches) and select a Line Colour
The thickness of the line is in inches, and a value approximately 0.01 is appropriate.
3. Click the Import Grid File button to open a Windows Explorer window; where you should
browse to the location of the grid file
4. Click OK to import the surface file
2.16.2 Importing Triangulated Irregular Network (TIN) Files

gINT only supports TIN files in the LandXML file format or gINT TIN (GTN) file format.
To add a Surface grid to your project file use the Input | Surfaces group and click the (new) icon, or
select File > New.
DGD Tool – Datgel

If there is more than one TIN surface in the file that you are trying to import, gINT will prompt you to
select which surface you wish to import.
1. Enter a Name for the surface TIN and optionally add a Description.
2. Select the Line Type, Enter a Thickness (in inches) and select a Line Colour
The thickness of the line is in inches, and a value approximately 0.01 is appropriate.

4 Automatic Assignment of Colours
and Data Markers
Assigning Colours and Data Markers to PointIDs which allows them to be more distinguishable and
identifiable on reports. The Datgel DGDT application can automatically assign a Colour and Data
Marker for each PointID on the POINT table that does not have a Colour or Data Marker assigned.
These symbology settings are used on all applicable graph reports, and a given PointID will have
consistent symbology across all such reports. You can manually assign the values as required, since
the calculation will never over write existing data.
The Colours and Data Markers that are assigned are selected from two configurable gINT Library
Tables, DG_COM_USEABLE_COLOURS and DG_COM_USERABLE_DATA_MARKERS. To configure the list,
select DATA DESIGN | Library Data, the select the table name from the yellow drop down list.
When assigning new Colours/Data Markers, the Assignment calculation selects the least used
Colour/Data Marker to distribute the Colours/Data Markers as evenly as possible. If there is more than
one least used Colour/Data Marker, the first item when ordered alphabetically is selected.
To print a list of Colours and Data Markers in the current gINT Library, select UTILITIES > Print Object
Units, then select Colour and Data Marker as the Objects to Print.

6 Configurable Table Report
6.1 Aim
The aim of the Configurable Table Reports is to allow the user to create a customized summary tables
that can be used to print various parameters and suites of parameters such as laboratory test results.
6.2 Where to create Configurable Table Reports.

Configurable Table Report configurations can be stored either in the Project file or in the Library file.
It may be more appropriate to store Table Reports that are specific to certain projects in the Project
(project table XXX and YYY). For Table Reports that are used reguarly for multiple projects it may be
more appropriate create them in the Library.
6.3 Set up a new Configurable Table in the Project

To set up a Configurable Table within the Project file
1. Go to INPUT | Options and Select the Configurable Table Options.

2. In the upper table, define a name for the Configurable Table.
3. In the lower table, select from the drop down list the columns to be printed. These columns are
created and stored in the DG_LAB_CONFIGURABLE_TABLE_COLUMNS table.
4. If the desired parameter or suite of parameters is not listed in the drop down list sections 6.4.1,
6.4.2 and 6.4.3 need to be completed.
6.4 Set up a new Configurable Table in the Library

Configurable Tables utilise three tables in the library file:
 DG_LAB_CONFIGURABLE_TABLE_PARAMETERS for defining the parameters

 DG_LAB_CONFIGURABLE_TABLE_SUITES for defining the parameters contained in each suite
 DG_LAB_CONFIGURABLE_LIB_REPORT_COLUMNS for defining the selectable list of parameters and
suites of paramteres, and
 DG_LAB_CONFIGURABLE_LIB_REPORT_TABLES for defining the library reports that can be selected
as Graphic Table output.

Dependent Either TRUE of FALSE. If the field is dependent, it will only display in a row if
independent fields return a value. (i.e. the depth is dependent as it should only display
if there are results returned for other parameters)
Remarks
Horizontal Alignment Output horizontal alignment (either left for left aligned, or center for center aligned)
Angle Output angle (either 0 for horizontal text or 90 for vertical text)
Column Width Min Min column width in the report for that parameter (if it is empty, the custom report will
shirk the column width of this parameter to whatever is needed to fit the paper width of
the custom report)
Column Width Max Max column width in the report for that parameter (if it is empty, the custom report will
grow the column width of this parameter to whatever is needed to fit the paper width of
the custom report)
6.4.2 Defining the Suites

A Suite is group of parameters to be printed together.
1. Go to DATA DESIGN | Library Data, and select DG_LAB_CONFIGURABLE_TABLE_SUITES from

The Excel Export Tool facilitates the export of data from gINT to a formatted excel template.
Configuration for what data is exported and where it is places is stored in an XML file. The Tool is
accessible by selecting Add-Ins > Datgel DGD Tool > Excel Export Tool. An explanation of the fields
and buttons are listed below:
XML Configuration File: the file name and path to the XML configuration file which contains the
configuration information related to writing to the Excel file and extracting the data from the gINT
database. Browse to the XML file by clicking on the button on the left of this field, or by typing the full
file path in the field. The XML file ExcelExport.xml will have been provided to you. It is recommended
that you place this file on your server and that all users browse to this file, so that in the event the XML
file is updated the XML file on the server can be updated so that all users will be using the updated file.
Template Excel File: the file name and path to the Excel workbook you wish to use as the template for
the exported Excel file. The first worksheet in the template Excel workbook will be used as the template,
and will be copied into each new worksheet created in the exported Excel file. Browse to the Excel file
by clicking on the button on the left of this field, or by typing the full file path in the field. As with the XML
Configuration File, it is recommended that this file is stored on the server and all users browse to this
file.
Target Excel File: the file name and path to the Excel workbook where the data will be extracted to. If
you define an existing Excel file, the file will be overwritten. Browse to the Excel file by clicking on the
button on the left of this field, or by typing the full file path in the field.
Open Excel after export: If checked, Excel will be launched at the end of the export process and the
target Excel file will be opened. Useful if you wish to review the exported data.
Export: starts the export process. If the data exceeds the number of rows in the template worksheet,
then a new copy of the template worksheet will be added in the workbook and the data will continue to
write to this worksheet and so on. The status text and status bar will inform you of the progress.
8.1 Excel File Formats

The Excel file formats available for use with the Excel Export Tool depends on which version of
Microsoft Excel is installed. The Excel Export Tool has been designed for use with Microsoft Excel 2003

10 Specification Test Analysis
Most lab tests have a specification requirement for the fill materials that the tested samples must be
compared against.
10.1 Defining a Specification

The specification details for the lab tests are defined on the Analysis | Specification (upper and lower)
and the Analysis | Specification Tests tables.
The Specification (upper) table is used to define the metadata and the specific values that each lab test
can be compared against. The Data Marker and Colour fields can also be defined; however it should be
noted that these are not linked to the envelopes on the PSD graph reports.
10.2 PSD requirements

The Specification (lower) table is used to define the PSD requirements. Where a specified particle size
does not equate to a sieve size, then the closest sieve size to the specified particle size should be
defined in the Particle Size Interpolate field and a log-linear interpolation will be done to determine the result
of the Specification 1 and Specification 2 fields in Sieve and Sedimentation tables.
Figure 20 – Lab Analysis Tables
DGD Tool – Datgel

10.3 Specification Tests
The Specification Tests table is used to define the tests requirements. To create a new value if a test to be
analysed against, choose the Specification Material from the drop down list. In the Result Field field, write
the reference of the field that contains the result to be analysed (Table.Field). Minimum Sign, Minimum Value
Number, Minimum Value String, Maximum Sign, Maximum Value Number and Maximum Value String fields allows you
to set the specification ranges. Specification Field 1 and Specification Field 2 must contain the field where the
comparison result has to be written (Table.Specification_1) and (Table.Specification_2). See next figure as an
example.
Figure 21 – Specification Tests Table
10.4 Assessment Based on the Defined Specification

The database can automatically compare each lab test result against two defined specifications. The
required defined specifications are selected on the Point.Specification_Material_1 and
Point.Specification_Material_2 fields and/or on the Sample.Specification_Material_1 and
Sample.Specification_Material_1. The database will calculate the specification results using the
Sample.Specification_Material_1 and Sample.Specification_Material_1 if they have a value.
Based on the defined specification, a P (Pass), F (Fail) or N (Not applicable) result will be displayed in
the Specification 1 and Specification 2 fields on most of the lab test tables.

12 Material Mass Classification Tool
The Datgel Material Mass Classification Tool is designed to streamline the classification of material
based on a user defined classification system with up to three parameters. The tables and field names
from the user’s database are used to configure the tool and the interpretation is then written back to the
database.
12.1 Project Tables
12.1.1 Project Options

The Material Classification ID field in Project Options table and in Point Options table is used to set the
Classification schemes to be used. The material classification schemes are stored in the Analysis
Group Tab in the Material Mass Classification table. The user can configure a particular scheme based on a
maximum of three parameters. Once defined, a classification can then be assigned in the Material
Classification ID for all the project in Project Options table or for each PointID in the Point Options table.
12.1.2 Material Mass Classification

The Material Mass Classification (upper) table is used to define the each of the Classifications and the table
and field names associated with each parameter. Each classification has a unique name that is then
use on the Project Options or Point Options tables.
DGD Tool – Datgel

12.1.3 MATERIAL_MASS_CLASSIFICATION_ZONES
This table stores the individual values for each parameter that is used by the Datgel Material Mass
Classification Tool to determine the material classification zone for each PointID.
12.2 Setting up the Tool
12.2.1 Defining a Material Mass Classification
12.2.1.1 MATERIAL_MASS_CLASSIFICATION Table

In the Analysis Group, in the Material Mass Classification (upper) table, define a Classification ID and a
Description for the material classification on the Material Mass Classification Zones table (below). Next you
must define each of the parameter types that you will want to evaluate your data against.
Table 11 – Definition of MATERIAL_MASS_CLASSIFICATION Parameters
Field Name Explanation

Parameter # Table Enter the project database table name (not the caption name) storing the
parameter information
Parameter # Bottom Field If the table has a bottom depth field, enter the database field name
Parameter # Value Field 1 Enter the database field name that contains the minimum criteria data. If there
is only one criteria, then define the database field name as the minimum
Parameter # Value Field 2 Enter the database field name that contains the maximum criteria data. If no
maximum exists then leave this field blank
DGD Tool – Datgel

Parameter # Range Option Select the most appropriate option for the range from the look up list (see
Table 12)
Parameter # Lookup Order If the database minimum and maximum fields used in the definition are looked
up from a library table and that library table has a field to define the order of the
data, then you can specify the name of the library table field here
If your parameter is a term like rock strength, e.g. EL or VH, then the lookup must be a library or project
table, and must have an Order field. The order field would normally be an integer or double type, and
be populated for each row of the lookup table.
Table 12 – Parameter Range Options
Range Option Description of Range Option

Single Only Value Field 1 is defined and will be used (default)
Minimum Use Value Field 1, if Value Field 1 is empty then use Value Field 2
Maximum Use Value Field 2, if Value Field 2 is empty then use Value Field 1
Average Average of Value Field 1 and Value Field 2 (or one if the other is empty)
Both Test both Value Field 1 and Value Field 2 fit in zone
Any Test if any Value Field fits in zone
Following is an example of a Classification ID that has been defined with 3 parameters:

maximum assessment criteria for Parameter2
Parameter 2 Range Option Both Both the minimum and maximum values are used
to check that the data in the Parameter 2 fields fall
within the minimum and maximum defined values
Parameter 2 Lookup Order Order_AS The library table that stores the abbreviation code
used to describe the minimum and maximum rock
strengths also contains a field called ORDER which
is used to sort the minimum and maximum values
Parameter 3 Table FRACTURES The criteria data for Parameter 3 is stored in the
FRACTURES table
DGD Tool – Datgel

Parameter 3 Value Field 1 Minimum_Fracture_Spacing The minimum fracture spacing is being used as the
minimum assessment criteria for Parameter 3
Parameter 3 Value Field 2 Maximum_Fracture_Spacing The maximum fracture spacing is being used as the
maximum assessment criteria for Parameter 3
Parameter 3 Range Option Average The average value from the minimum and
maximum Parameter 3 fields is required for this
assessment
Parameter 3 Lookup Order This has been left blank as there is no order
Once you have defined the required Parameters, you must then also define the target where the
material classification will be written to.
In the following example, the material classification is defined to be written to the Material Mass
Classification Units table.

12.3 Using the Tool
Once you have defined a Material Mass Classification Scheme, a defined classification can then be
assigned to each PointID on the Point Options table or in the Project Options table.
1. In INPUT and go to the Project Options table or Point Options table.

2. In the Material Classification ID field, select the Material Mass Classification that you have
previously defined in the Material Mass Classification and Material Mass Classification Zones (below)
tables.
DGD Tool – Datgel

3. Select Add-Ins > DGD Tool > Material Mass Classification Tool
4. To determine the material classification for a selected PointID, choose the Material
Classification Tool – Current PointID.
5. To determine the material classification for all PointIDs, choose the Material Classification
Tool – All PointIDs.
The Tool will then run and write the material classification to the target table as defined for that
classification scheme. On completion, the Tool will also provide you with a full report (see
example below).
Note:
Any existing data in the Target table for the applicable PointIDs will be DELETED.
The first zone that satisfies the criteria will be used. Zones are ordered by Zone ID, but this is a string
hence it is ordered 1, 10, 2, 3... If this is a problem, then name Zone IDs with padded zeros, e.g. 01
Sand, 02 Sand clayey, etc.

The following fields on the POINT table are used by this tool:
 Tidal Water Depth: Stores each PointID’s Tidal Water Depth information.
 Tidal Date Time: Stores each PointID’s Tidal Date Time information. This field is used by the Tool
to get each PointID’s Tidal Water Elevation from the Tide Gauge table.
 Tidal Calculation Tide Point Gauge: Stores each PointID’s information. This field is used by
the Tool to get each PointID’s Tidal Water Elevation from the Tide Gauge table
DGD Tool – Datgel

 Tidal Water Elevation: This field is used to store the calculated tidal water elevation which is
populated from Tide Gauge table based on each PointID’s Tidal Calc Tide Gauge PointID and Tidal
Date Time information.
 Elevation: This field is used to store the calculated seabed elevation for each PointID.
13.3.2 Usage
The Elevation field on the POINT table is calculated using the add-in menu command Add-Ins > Datgel
DGD Tool > Set Seabed Elevation. This will update all records on the POINT table that have Tidal Date
Time, Tidal Calc Tide Gauge PointID, Tidal Water Depth information and corresponding Tidal data on the Tide
Gauge table. The user needs to manually enter each PointID’s Tidal Water Depth and Tidal Date Time
information. Tidal Water Elevation field in POINT table will be updated from Tide Gauge table based on each
PointID’s Tidal Date Time information. Each PointID’s Elevation is calculated using the difference between
each PointID’s Tidal Water Elevation and Tidal Water Depth values.
13.4 Grid File Pre-processing Tool

The Grid File Pre-Processing Tool allows the user to:
 Pre-process a grid surface file to fill in the null regions to form a perfect rectangular outline with
no holes
 Divide the source grid file into several smaller rectangular grid files to cope with larger surface
files
 Invert data, i.e. multiply Z by -1
To launch Grid File Pre-processing Tool gINT Add-In:
DGD Tool – Datgel

1. Be in gINT INPUT.
2. Select Add-Ins > Datgel DGD Tool > Surface File Pre Process.
On this screen:
Source file: The file path of the source XYZ grid file to be processed. Use the “Browse” button to
browse to the file.
Target file: The file path where the output XYZ grid file(s) will be generated. Use “Browse” button to
select browse to the file path.
File size: Displays the source file is in bytes and Megabytes.
Number of rows: Shows the number of rows in the source file.
Min (E, N, Z): Shows the minimum East, North and Elevation values from the source file.
Max (E, N, Z): This information shows the maximum East, North and Elevation values from the source
file.
East spacing: This information shows the East spacing between each row record in the source file.
Ensure the east value of the row records in the surface file are equally spaced before you start the grid
file pre-processing process.
North spacing: This information shows the North spacing between each row in the source file. Please
make sure the north value of the row records in the surface file are equally spaced before you start the
grid file pre-processing process.
Statistics Button: Use this button to display source file statistics. This is not required but it is useful to
know the file statistics in order to decide how the target files are divided. Note that the source file
statistics will be calculated and be shown in the Statistics section at the end of the pre-processing
process.
Invert elevation checkbox: Check the “Invert elevation” box to invert elevation in the target grid file,
i.e. multiple the elevation by -1. This is required only if the elevation in the source gird file has the
elevation inverted and this needs to be corrected before import into gINT.
Round E,N decimal places: Specify a value here to round all values to a number of decimal places.
Rounding can correct inconsistent grid spacing if the difference is very small. Leave this blank if you
wish to omit any rounding.
DGD Tool – Datgel

Null value to replace with 1E10: gINT recognised values greater than or equal to 1E10 to be Null
values. If the source grid file uses a different value to represent a Null, then enter that value in the text
box and the Tool will replace the value with 1E10.
Surface file grid dimensions (E x N): Enter the East Grid dimension and North Grid dimension to cut
the grid files into equally spaced portions. You can use “File Size” information to determine the East
and North Grid dimensions. For example, if the surface file grid dimension is 2 x 2, the source surface
file will be cut into two rows and two columns, resulting into 4 files and will be named as <Target File
Name>_GridX1_GridY1.xyz, <Target File Name>_GridX1_GridY2.xyz, <Target File
Name>_GridX2_GridY1.xyz and <Target File Name>_GridX2_GridY2.xyz.
Start pre-processing at row: You can specify the starting row in the source file for the process. This is
useful if the source surface file has header information. If the actual surface record starts at row 5 in the
surface file, then enter “5” in this box.
Execute button: Pre-process the source grid file.
Delimiter: The character used to separate the X, Y and Z values. The most common types can be
selected from the pick list provided, or type in the delimiter character in this field.
Grid Spacing: the spacing between one coordinate to an adjacent coordinate in the grid file. If the grid
spacing is known, enter the values in both East and North fields, and the Tool will use these values
when pre-processing. If one or both fields are left blank, then the Tool will automatically determine the
grid spacing.
13.4.1 Usage
1. Select source grid file.
2. Select target grid file.
3. Click Statistics button to display source grid file statistics.
4. Check Invert Elevation option if the source xyz file has the elevation inverted. Otherwise
uncheck it.
5. Enter a new null value to replace the default null value.
6. Enter surface file grid dimensions. You can determine the dimensions by looking at the size of
the source file.
7. Enter the pre-process starting row in the source file. If there is no header information in the
source file, then enter 1 as the starting row.
8. Select a delimiter from the pick list, or enter one in the field.
9. Enter the grid spacing for East and North, if known.
10. Click Execute button to pre-process the source file.
11. You can view the generated target files in the target file directory.

15 Populate Bottom
With this Add-In the Bottom related field is populated with the previous record’s Depth data to make the
entry data operation easier, faster and avoid duplicated data entry.
This applies to the tables: STRATA_MAIN, STRATA_DETAILS, SAMPLE, SPECIMEN, DEPTH_REMARKS, IMAGE,
CEMENTATION, CONSISTENCY_DENSITY, MOISTURE_CONDITION, METHOD, PENETRATION_RESISTANCE,
ROTARY_FLUSH, CHISELLUNG, DRILLING_PARAMETERS, WATER_ADDED, IN_SITU_STRESS, CORE,
ROCK_STRENGTH, WEATHERING, FRACTURE, DEFECT, CORE_LOSS, RMR, GSI, ALTERATION,
ROCK_MAS_WEATHERING, DURICRUST_MASS_GRADE.
15.1 Using the Tool

Once you have populated the Depth in the related tables, run the add-in menu command Add-Ins >
Datgel DGD Tool > Populate Bottom. Bottom related fields will be populated.
To run the Add-in with a shortcut, use the key combination: CTRL+ALT+B.

16 Customising the Interface by
Scenario
A user may wish to only display certain tables depending on what they are working on, and hide other
irrelevant tables. The scenario type can be changed by selecting INPUT | Project.Project_Type field. The
code will run when opening a project database and when leaving the Project table after making a data
change to any field.
The configuration can be edited by going to DATA DESIGN | Library Data and selecting the
appropriate table from the object selector (yellow drop down list at top of screen).
 DG_HIDE_SCENARIO_CONFIG: Stores the project table and field name where user can select the
project type. This is set to the DGDT default table and field, and you probably don’t need to
edit this.
 DG_HIDE_SCENARIO_FIELDS: Manually enter only the fields you need to control, and check the
box when the file is to be visible, uncheck to hide. Visibility of fields that are not listed will not
be effected.
 DG_HIDE_SCENARIO_NAME: This is used to populate the lookup for the field defined in
DG_HIDE_SCENARIO_CONFIG.
DGD Tool – Datgel

 DG_HIDE_SCENARIO_TABLE_GROUPS: This stores a list of the table groups; it can be populated
by calling the Add-In command INPUT | Add-Ins > Datgel DGD Tool > Populate Hide
Scenario Library Tables. For each Scenario check the groups you wish to be visible.
 DG_HIDE_SCENARIO_TABLES: This stores a list of the tables; it can be populated by calling the
Add-In command INPUT | Add-Ins > Datgel DGD Tool > Populate Hide Scenario Library
Tables. For each Scenario check the tables you wish to be visible.
16.1 How to Make a New Scenario

Follow the following steps to make a new Scenario:
1. Select DATA DESIGN | Library Data, and select DG_HIDE_SCENARIO_NAME, and create a new
record for the new scenario (e.g. Australia_All). The name must not have spaces or special
characters, as it will be used as a field name.
2. Select DATA DESIGN | Library Tables, and select DG_HIDE_SCENARIO_FIELDS.
3. Click on New field, enter the name (e.g. Australia_All) as entered in the
DG_HIDE_SCENARIO_NAME table, select type as Boolean, and set a default of -1.
4. Click OK
5. Repeat this step for DG_HIDE_SCENARIO_TABLE_GROUPS and DG_HIDE_SCENARIO_TABLES. You
can use Tables > Merge Fields from Current File to copy the files from the previous table.
DGD Tool – Datgel

6. Select DATA DESIGN | Library Data, and select DG_HIDE_SCENARIO_TABLES, and check the
boxes in the Australia_All column for tables you wish to be visible. To make this faster, copy
one checked box and select many boxes then paste.
7. Repeat for DG_HIDE_SCENARIO_TABLE_GROUPS and DG_HIDE_SCENARIO_FIELDS.

18 Convert Projects
There can be differences in the data structure between versions of the DGDT. This means old files
should be converted to the new structure, which can be done very easily using gINT.
1. Open gINT and confirm you are using the newer library file. This is important as you could lose
data if you are not.
2. Navigate to Utilities | Convert Projects.
3. For Data Template, browse to dgdt <new #.##>.gdt
4. For Correspondence File, select the file dgdt <old #.##> to dgdt <new #.##>
<##>.gci. A correspondence file is not always needed. This can be left blank if there is no
correspondence file. A correspondence file is needed when an existing field or table name
was changed, or you need to move data from one field to another during conversion.
5. In the box Convert Files, select the project files to convert. You may list several projects in this
box.
The converted project retains the original file name. The original project will be stored in the same
directory with the extension .org or or#.

19 AGS Support
The DGDT supports the import and export of a range of AGS Format versions, including: AGS 3.1,
AGS 3.1 RTA 1.1, AGS 3.1(SG), AGS4, and AGS4 NZ.
gINT allows AGS import, export, checking and editing in excel and text editors. All of these functions
can be accessed from within the Input application.
AGS File Commands are located in INPUT | File > AGS Files.
Before exporting to AGS the field AGS Edition, found on the Transmission Information Export table, must be
set. Refer to Table 21 – AGS Edition Value.
Table 21 – AGS Edition Value
Version Value to Enter in AGS Edition

AGS 3.1 3.1
AGS 3.1 RTA 1.1 3.1 RTA 1.1
AGS 3.1(SG) 3.1(SG)
AGS4 4.0
AGS4 NZ 4.0
19.1 Importing AGS Data

In Input, select File > AGS File > Import from AGS File and the following dialog appears:
Figure 25 – Import from AGS File

1. Select the AGS File to import.
DGD Tool – Datgel

2. Browse to the relevant Correspondence File for the version of AGS you need to import.
a) For AGS 3.1: ags 3.1 to dgdt-dlst 4.## ##.gci
b) For AGS 3.1 RTA 1.1: ags 3.1 rta 1.1 to dgdt-dlst 4.## ##.gci
c) For AGS4: ags 4.0.3 to dgd-dlst 4.## 07.gci
The program remembers the correspondence file between sessions so once you have
specified one, you will never have to specify it again, as long as you use the same file.
3. Configure the Overwrite Option, normally Never is appropriate. If you are importing to a new
project, the Overwrite Option doesn't matter: there is nothing to overwrite. If you are importing
to a project that already has data, the choice of the Overwrite Option can be very important.
Refer to the gINT Online Help Overwrite Options section for an explanation.
4. If you have not previously checked the AGS file, it is a good idea to do so before import, to do
so check the box.
5. Click OK.
6. If you checked the AGS file, on the checker form, click View Report, and name a file to save it
as. The checker report will now display in a text editor. FYI are not generally a concern. If
there are errors, you could send the file to the data generator and request they correct the
problems. If you wish to proceed with the import, click OK on the form now visible in gINT.
See Section 19.3 – AGS Checker below for details on the Check file before import option.
7. Review the import log for problems, click OK. You may like to save this to a text file for future
reference.
8. Review the data imported. Look for data completeness and correct units etc.
19.2 Exporting AGS Data

To export your data to an AGS file, select the File > AGS Files > Export to AGS File menu item in the
Input application. That will export the currently active project. The following dialog appears:
Figure 26 – Export to AGS File

1. Set the AGS File to make.
2. Browse to the relevant Correspondence File for the version of AGS you need to export.
a) For AGS 3.1: dgdt-dlst 4.## to ags 3.1 ##.gcx
b) For AGS 3.1 RTA 1.1: dgdt-dlst 4.## to ags 3.1 rta 1.1 ##.gcx
c) For AGS4: dgdt-dlst 4.## to ags 4.0.3 ##.gcx
The program will remember the selected correspondence file between sessions.
3. Select PointIDs or leave it blank for all, and click OK.
4. Review the export log for problems, save the text log file for future reference, click OK.
5. On the checker form, click View Report, and name a file to save it as. The checker report will
now display in a text editor.
DGD Tool – Datgel

FYI are not generally a concern, if you find errors you should investigate the issue, and if
needed contact Datgel for advice.
6. Open the AGS file in a text editor (such as Notepad++) and review the data and file layout.
19.3 AGS Checker

Refer to the separate document Procedures for Checking AGS (SG) Data.
19.4 Editing AGS Files

Ideally AGS data exported from gINT should require no further editing. These tools are provided for the
odd occasions where editing after export is the easiest way to correct a problem.
19.4.1 Editing in Excel®

In the Input application, select File > AGS Files > Edit AGS File in Excel…. This option is not
available if you do not have Excel installed. On invoking the command, the following dialog appears:
Figure 27 – Editing AGS Files in Excel®

Select the desired AGS file in the first field.
The Data Structure in Excel field has the following choices:
 All data in one worksheet

 Each dataset in a separate worksheet
With the second option, each AGS group is placed on its own worksheet in the spreadsheet file with the
worksheet named by the AGS group.
If the Consolidate <CONT> lines check box is marked, continued heading, units, and data lines are
combined into one line so that there are no continuations. With AGS4 and newer <CONT> is no longer
used.
If you wish to view lines in the file where errors were pointed out in the AGS File Checker set, use the
following configuration:
 Set Data Structure In Excel to All data in one worksheet

 Do not mark Consolidate <CONT> lines
With this configuration the worksheet will match the line numbers given in the AGS File Checker log.
However, the program will not recreate the AGS file from any edits you make in this mode. For edits in
Excel to be saved, the Consolidate <CONT> lines property must be marked.
If you wish to actually edit the file in Excel, you must mark the Consolidate <CONT> lines property. The
program will not recreate the AGS from the Excel spreadsheet without this property being marked. To
DGD Tool – Datgel

support editing, it is also better to select Each dataset in a separate worksheet for the Data Structure in
Excel property. This makes finding data and adding new rows much easier.
You cannot access gINT while editing the spreadsheet.
If you have marked the Consolidate <CONT> lines property, make changes in Excel and save the file.
gINT then recreates the original AGS file based on the new data. Quotes will be put around all data
cells and lines broken appropriately to satisfy the 240 character limit imposed by the AGS standard.
If you do select the Each dataset in a separate worksheet option, you may find some worksheet tabs
with some strange-looking names. For example, Excel does not allow the ? character, but it is a
required group prefix for tables not in the AGS specification. The program translates ? to %%d, so a
worksheet tab may read %%dABCD. If the AGS file is recreated from the spreadsheet, the program
will translate these codes back to their original characters.
19.4.2 Editing in a Text Editor

In the Input application, select File > AGS Files > Edit AGS File in Text Editor. A standard Windows
file open dialog displays. Select the desired file and click the Open button. gINT will launch the default
Windows text editor (e.g. Notepad or WordPad, depending on operating system). Make whatever edits
you wish.
Notepad++ is a freeware text editor available from http://notepad-plus-plus.org/. Its enhanced features
make it easier to view and edit AGS files.
DGD Tool – Datgel

20 Configuration
20.1 Initial Custom Configuration Check List
Following presents issues a gINT developer should consider when implementing the DGDT in a new
organisation.
1. Start with the latest DGDT gINT Files, or the latest relevant compiled Datgel Product gINT Files
(that incorporate many Datgel Products merged into one set of gINT Files – ask Datgel Support
for this)
2. Set file names
a) Company 1.00.gpj
b) Company 1.00 lib.glb
3. Logo: SYMBOL DESIGN | Bitmap Symbols
a) Merge Logo or Logos
b) Delete other dummy logos
c) See section 20.2 for more details
4. DATA DESIGN | Library Data | DG_COM_OFFICE
a) Set Office name
b) Set default logos for the office
c) test a log and graph, configure the offset field on DG_COM_OFFICE after testing a graph
report
d) Remove Datgel Office
5. Project table
a) Set value for PROJECT.Office
b) Set default value for PROJECT.Office
c) Set PROJECT.Data_Template_History Caption as: Company 1.00 yyyy-MM-dd
d) Set PROJECT.Data_Template_History Default Value as: Created with Company 1.00 yyyy-MM-
dd, and set the value as: Created with Company 1.00 yyyy-MM-dd
e) Coordinate System and Elevation
i. For Australian users set the value and default for Elevation Datum to AHD, and if the
user is only in one city set the default for the Coordinate System to the relevant
MGA94 Zone ##. Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane = “MGA94 Zone 56”, Adelaide
“MGA94 Zone 54”, Perth “MGA94 Zone 50”
ii. Singapore: SVY21 and MSL
f) Set default values and values for Default SPT Pen 1 3 5 and Default SPT Pen 2 4 6. For AS/ASTM
set the former to 150 and later blank, and for BS set both to 75.
6. Set Help > User File Visioning. Fill both fields with Company 1.00 yyyy-mm-dd.
7. PROJECT_OPTIONS
a) Set Classification_Standard Value
b) Set Classification_Standard Default Value
c) Set List_Filter Value
d) Set List_Filter Default Value
e) Set SPT_N_Value_on_Plots_For_Refusal, and default value
8. Set the most relevant value and default for TRANSMISSION_INFORMATION_EXPORT.AGS_Edition.
a) AU “3.1 RTA 1.1”
b) NZ: “4.0.3 NZ”
c) SG: “3.1 (SG)”
d) MY: “4.0.3”
e) Rest of world: “4.0.3”
DGD Tool – Datgel

Perhaps set values and defaults for other fields on TRANSMISSION_INFORMATION_EXPORT.
9. Consider DATA DESIGN | User System Data | DG Com Strata Description. This controls
which Component description tables are referenced by log reports. Currently gINT is limited to
how many fields may be referenced by one entity resulting in the need to not reference all
component tables in one expression. By default, the ASTM component description tables are
not listed, you can list them by copying the relevant lines from DG Com Strata Description Z,
and replace one of the other references in DG Com Strata Description.
10. Delete unneeded component description tables, or move them to end of Main Group
11. Set Lists and set table property “Keep data when cloning”, particularly:
a) GEOLOGY_UNIT_1, 2, 3
b) PLANT_LIST
c) ORGANISATION
d) OPERATOR
e) LOGGED_BY
f) TESTED_BY
g) PROCESSED_BY
h) APPROVED_BY
i) COORDINATE_SYSTEM
j) ELEVATION_DATUM
12. Optional, Migrate pre-existing custom gINT Objects
a) Merge selected project tables and fields
b) Set field and table properties
c) Add ItemKey table data, such as Plant List
d) Merge library objects, such as reports, blocks, material graphics, library tables etc
e) Make a field map Excel file, where you list
i. old Table.Field and DGDT table.field,
ii. old and new User System Data
f) old and new library Table.Field and DGDT table.field
g) Then use the DATA DESIGN | Project Database | Tools > Replace Field Names… to
translate old references to DGDT.
h) You will need to review code on each report.
13. Make a data template
14. Repair and compact gpj, glb and gdt files
15. Distribute the files to users. Best to include other relates files such as correspondence files,
gINT AGS Schemes, example photos and data files, and user guides. Make a zip, named
“yyyy-MM-dd_Company_#.##.zip”.
20.2 Configuring Logos in the Library
20.2.1 Import a new raster file

Use SYMBOL DESIGN | Bitmap Symbols to import a new raster file.
To add a new logo:
1. Create a new page

2. Enter the Name and Description.
3. Using the Load Raster File browser, select the file you wish to import, and click OK.
To overwrite an existing raster with a new one:
1. Select the item from the object selector list
DGD Tool – Datgel

2. Open Page Properties
3. Using the Load Raster File, browser, select the file you wish to import, and click OK.
20.2.2 How to add a new Office

1. If required, import the raster file as described in section 20.2.1.
2. Navigate to DATA DESIGN | Library Data, and open table DG_COM_OFFICE.
Figure 28 – DG_COM_OFFICE
3. Make a new record and update the Office, Engineer Logo, Figure Logo, and Figure Logo X Offset fields.
4. Return to INPUT, and on the Project table select new item in the Office field. If you prefer to use
the new office for your projects, set it as the field default, and make a new data template.
5. Move to OUTPUT, and test that log and graph reports present the logo as desired. You might
need to adjust the value for Figure Logo X Offset to present the logo cantered in the figure title
block box. Keep in mind that by default the logo will be offset by 2 mm.
20.3 Material and Geology Unit Graphics
20.3.1 Graphic
The symbols/hatches for the primary material graphic stored in STRATA_MAIN.Graphic, is configured in
SYMBOL DESIGN | Material. You can design more graphics here, but to comply with AGS 3.1 and
AGS 4 you must use three-number codes.
For instructions on how to design a composite symbols using gINT, refer to on-line help topic
Composite Symbols (symbols) and the Datgel gINT Training Manual.
20.3.2 Geology Unit 1, 2 & 3

Geology Unit lists are stored in the Project database on like named tables in the Lists table group.
20.4 Recommendations for Customisation

The DGD Tool should be considered as an advanced starting point for your organisation to create
organisation specific gINT system. Someone will need to customise what users see in INPUT and the
report presentations to suit your organisations exact needs. Datgel’s general recommended approach
to customisation is described below.
1. Install the DGD Program, and open the DGD Tool user gINT Files, and activate the license.
DGD Tool – Datgel

2. Navigate to INPUT | Options | Project Options, and set the Classification Standard and the List Filter
that best suit your needs.
3. Review the project database, and what fields and tables you don’t need. Then adjust a Hide
Scenario to support this. Do not delete field/tables.
4. Review lookup items and add/edit what is needed. Note, many lists are controlled by list filters.
To know where the list is stored, right click on the field and select field properties.
5. Review the standard reports, and identify what changes are needed to some of these to suit
your needs. Then copy the report, rename them to <Company name abbreviation> *, and
make changes.
6. Prefix the name library objects that you make or edit with <Company name abbreviation>_ or
<Company name abbreviation> *, so that migration to future version of Datgel standard gINT
files is easier. Also, in Library tables when you edit or add records have <Company name
abbreviation> in Customisation_Remark to make it easy to know what has been changed from
Datgel’s standard items.
Datgel can do the development tasks described above on a consulting basis.
If you require technical support related to gINT development you should contact your gINT support
provider, which may not be Datgel. If Datgel is not your normal gINT support provided, you can
purchase a Prepaid Technical Support Package from Datgel to enable Datgel to assist you.
Datgel licenses the DGDT, including gINT objects, on a non-transferable basis, which means you can’t
provide the library, data template, project, correspondence files, gINT Schema files, programs,
documentation etc. that were provided with the DGDT to 3rd parties.

discard, or return to the grid continue editing.
DGD Tool – Datgel

22.6 Graphical Data Input
Graphical Data Input (GDI) allows you to edit data and then instantly see the change on an interactive
log report. Data entry using this interface is not as fast as Grid Input, but is ideal for data entry in the
field on a tablet device, for new gINT database users who are not familiar with the fields, or when
reviewing and making minor changes to data.
Click :
 To avoid a defect, click on the log report to make the grid window display, before using a zoom
command.
 Change reports by selecting File > Select reports for Input
 Change PointID: Click anywhere on the page, and click the Select button.
 Make a new PointID: Click anywhere on the page, and click the New button.
22.7 Preview from INPUT

A fast way to preview reports while entering data is to use File > Print > Preview, or the toolbar icon

1. Click on the Point tab and select Tools > Replicate Point. You see the Replicate Current Point
and Dependent Data dialog box:
2. Type BH102, BH103 in the text box to copy the current Point. The Point IDs can be separated
with commas and/or carriage returns.
3. When you click OK, all your new points will be defined with the common data. You can apply
data changes to each PointID.
22.11 Importing/Exporting Data

gINT can interop with a wide range of file formats. These commands are located in the File menu.
DGD Tool – Datgel

22.11.1 Exporting Data
Now export some data to Excel.
1. Select the File > Import/Export > Export to Excel File menu option. You see a dialog box
with specific import options.
2. Click the browse button to the right of the Excel File text field to specify a path to a new
Excel file. Call the new file “gINT Export”. Check Selected tables and select the four tables in
the screen shot, check Include field Captions, check Launch Excel after export and click
OK to start the export.
3. At the end of the export process, any messages and errors are written to an export log. Click
OK to close the window, and an Excel window will open.
Every table in gINT is stored in a separate spreadsheet in Excel. The spreadsheets are
accessible by clicking on the tabs along the bottom of the Excel screen. The first row of the
DGD Tool – Datgel

spreadsheet contains the field names of the table, the second row contains the captions and
units of the field, and the following rows contain the field data.
22.11.2 Importing Data

gINT accommodates importing data from several file formats. Common to all these import commands
are two text field options, Correspondence File and Overwrite Options.
The Correspondence File field allows the program to read a gINT Correspondence File during import to
map a differing file structure to the target gINT project database.
The Overwrite Option field controls how the program will deal with data that are in both the current
database and the external file.
The options are:
 Never - add records who’s Keys do not exist in the current database. Existing records will not
be changed in any way. All options share this behaviour for new records.
 Empty fields - Writes data from the source only if the corresponding field in the target is
empty.
 Named fields - Writes data from a field named in the source wherever a matching field exists
in the target, overwriting any contents of the target field. Note that if a field is blank in the
source it will overwrite any contents in the target field and leave it blank.
 Records - Erases each target record matched by a source record (same key) and writes the
data from the source. Any records in the target that do not have corresponding records in the
source will not be affected by the import.
 Data sets - Replaces entire sets of data; the resulting data set will contain only data from the
source file. A "Data Set" is defined by the Keyset of the parent table. For example in a table
with the PointID, Depth Keyset a Data Set is all records with a particular PointID value, while
for a PointID, Depth, Reading table a Data Set is all records that share a PointID and Depth.
With the data imported to the POINT table, there is no parent table and this option acts like the
Records option, that is, all the data in the POINT table will not be deleted with this option. Only
the records in the target that match those in the source will be overwritten by the source data.
Any records in the target that do not have corresponding records in the source will not be
affected by the import.
To demonstrate the Overwrite options, modify the data in the Excel file you created previously, and
import it back into the gINT database.
1. In the Excel screen, delete all other tabs except for the POINT tab. Right click on a tab to
bring up a menu, and select delete to delete a tab. Press the delete button when prompted
with a message box.
DGD Tool – Datgel

2. In the POINT tab, delete all the columns except for PointID, Elevation, North and East.
3. Enter a new record, BH104 on the next blank row. Change the values in East, North and
Elevation columns for each PointID so that they are different to each other. Leave a few
values blank. The Excel spreadsheet should now look like the following screenshot.
4. Save the Excel file, minimise Excel, and return to the gINT screen. Go to the Borehole tab
and delete the North value for the borehole BH101, the East and North values for BH102 and
the Surface Elevation, East and North values for BH103.
DGD Tool – Datgel

5. Click the File > Import/Export > Import from Excel File menu option to bring up the following
dialog box.
6. Click the browse button to the right of the Excel File text field and select the Excel file that
you have been working on. Select Never in the Overwrite Options text field and click OK.
You will see that in the import log that 0 records were imported and the records were not
writable. In the Borehole table, there should not have been any changes to the existing
records. This is because the Never option will not write to existing records. You will also
notice that BH104 was not imported because it is missing a value in the key field HoleDepth.
7. Click the File > Import/Export > Import from Excel File menu option to bring up the Excel
Import dialog window again. This time, select Empty Fields in the Overwrite Options text
field, and click OK.
This time, you will see that the 3 Records have been added or updated. In the Borehole table,
the empty East, North and Surface Elevation records will have been filled with the values in
the Excel file. This option is useful if you have left the East, North and Elevation Value blank at
the time of data entry, and you wish to enter these values at a later time. You will also notice
that BH104 was not imported again because it is missing a value in the key field HoleDepth.
8. Go back to the Excel screen and enter different values for East, North and Elevation columns
for all the records.
9. Go to the gINT screen, and click the File > Import/Export > Import from Excel File menu
option to bring up the Excel Import dialog window. This time, select Named fields (Fields not
named are ignored) in the Overwrite Options text field, and click OK.
This time, you will see that 3 records have been imported. In the Borehole tab, you will see
that the data in the gINT screen has been overwritten by the data in the Excel file. This option
is useful if you wish to replace the existing East, North and Elevation values with more
accurate values that were obtained at a later time. You will also notice that BH104 was not
imported again.

22.13 gIDraw
This is gINT’s drawing interface, and is used throughout the program by users and developers.
22.13.1 Drawings and Layers

The object selector drop-down list, yellow list in top centre of the screen, displays the name of the
current drawing. A gINT drawing file (*.gdw) may have many pages.
The Layer drop-down box in the top right of the screen displays the current layer of the drawing. If
desired, you can group your entities into layers, creating an overlay in your drawing. The colour you set
in the layer sets the colour of the entities at design time, but does not affect the colour at output time.
Click the Layer Properties icon to view the properties of the drawing layers:
DGD Tool – Datgel

Layers are commonly used to organize entities. For example, you could place all your text entities on
one layer, all your polylines on another, and so on. Or you might organize the drawing in sections with
the header in one layer, the body in another and the footer in a third.
For further study on layers, select the Help  Contents  Commands  Reports  Layers topic.
22.13.2 The Drawing Area

In page-based gIDraw applications, you will see a page outline, or frame, similar to the following:
The outermost rectangle is the physical page boundaries and the next one in is the printable area for
the printer associated with the drawing. The innermost rectangle corresponds to the margins that you
define. By default, the margins are the “0,0” location of the X,Y coordinates, but they can be changed.
The lower right corner contains the scroll buttons to move a specified percentage of the screen height
and width. If you hover over the arrow, tooltip text displays the percentage and direction the screen will
move.
22.13.3 The Toolbox

The gIDraw toolbox shows some--but not all--of the commands that are available from the Drawing
application menus. You can move the position of the toolbox using the Toolbox Position icon.

22.13.4 Command/Coordinate Textbox

The command text box in the lower left corner of the interface is where you enter drawing commands or
your X and Y coordinates. You do not need to place your cursor in the box to enter characters; as soon
as you start typing, the field is automatically populated with your entry.
To view the command abbreviations, select the Settings  Commandline Aliases menu option. You
can edit any of these command aliases and enter your own commands:
DGD Tool – Datgel

22.13.5 Command Panels
The bottom portion of the interface is divided into two separate panels. What is displayed here changes,
depending on what you are doing in the application. If there is no command in effect, the last eight
commands are displayed:
You can use a shortcut to access these commands. If you press CTRL+3, using the example above,
you would activate the Select Entities command.
If you are in the middle of a multiple-step command, the middle panel displays the command that you
executed and prompts you for the next step in the command and the panel to the right contains
additional options for the command:
The shortcut for the Erase command is the “E” key or the DELETE key on your keyboard.
22.13.6 Context Menus

In gIDraw, the role of the right mouse button is to give you access to the context menus in gINT. By
default the context menus are turned on, but you can turn them off by selecting the Settings 
Context Menus option and un-checking one or both menu options.
When you right-click on your mouse with the General Context Menu turned on, the menu repeats
whatever command you are working on. It also contains the Navigation, Snaps, Save and Cancel
Changes options.
DGD Tool – Datgel

If you are in the middle of a command, accessing the context menu displays the command options,
such as Erase, Move, Copy, and so on.
If context menus are turned off and there is no command in effect, when you right-click, the program
executes the last command. If you are in the middle of a command, the result is the same as pressing
the ENTER key.
22.13.7 Navigation and Zooming on a Drawing

The View tool bar contains most of the commands for navigation and zooming on a drawing. Scroll
bars are located on the bottom and right of the drawing window.
Refresh drawing
Pan
Previous zoom
Zoom window
Zoom extents
Zoom page
Zoom out
Zoom in
Zoom multiply
Quick zoom
Try each of the commands.
22.13.8 Drawing a Polyline
To draw a polyline, you can use the Polyline toolbox button, select the Draw  Points and Lines
 Polyline menu option, press CTRL+L, or type PL in the command textbox. If you recently created a
polyline you could select it from the list of prior commands.
22.13.9 Using Snaps

When drawing polylines, you can use the snap options to place your polylines on distinct features of
entities. If you click near one of the features, and use a snap option, the program “snaps” to that
feature.
The Snap to Midpoint , Snap to Intersection , and Snap to Perpendicular commands

only apply to polylines and pseudo-polylines (the structure lines). To draw a polyline around the inner
DGD Tool – Datgel

margin box on our drawing, we are going to use the Snap to Point and Snap to Perpendicular
commands.
Click the Polyline toolbox button.
Click the Snap to Point command and click on the lower left corner of the inside dotted frame.
Click the Snap to Perpendicular command and click the upper right corner of the frame. gINT
draws a straight line across the bottom of the frame.
Repeat this process until all four sides of the frame are drawn and then click OK. When you are
finished, your screen should look similar to the following:
To quickly erase this polyline, select the Edit  Undo Last Command menu option, press CTRL+Z, or
select the entity and click the Delete key or the Erase button. There are two levels of undo; the first is
undoing the last command, and the second is the Cancel Changes button, which undoes any
changes made since the last time you saved your work.
Now we can redraw the polyline using the Snap Lock command.
Erase your polyline and re-select the Polyline command.
Instead of clicking on a snap command several times to draw the rectangle, we can use the Snap Lock
command to repeat the same snap mode without having to re-click it each time. You can also use the
SHIFT key to display the snaps menu commands.
DGD Tool – Datgel

After clicking the Polyline command, press and hold the SHIFT key and right-click your mouse. You see
the following context menu:
Another way to shorten your movements is instead of using the command buttons on the lower right
panel (such as Close, OK, and Cancel), when you are ready to complete a command, you can press
the ENTER key, or to cancel you can press ESC. You can also press the first uppercase letter of a
command to execute it. For example, if you want to close a polyline, you can type “C” on your
keyboard.
You can also use the rectangle toolbox icon and the snap options to create the same polyline we
did earlier. gINT does not have true circles, rectangles, arcs or ellipses. These shapes are created
using polylines, which gives you more flexibility when it comes to editing.
Draw a polyline at 0,0 by typing the coordinates in the command text box and pressing ENTER.
To offset a line from the current point, use the @ symbol and enter the new coordinates of the line. For
example, if you wanted the next point of a line to be 20 mm to the right and 40 mm up from the last
point, you would enter “@20,40”. You can use a negative number to move the line down.
To change the angle on a point, you use polar points. You would enter the @ symbol, the length the
less than symbol (<) and the degrees.
To draw a polyline starting at “50,50” that is 20 mm long at an angle of 45 degrees:
1. Click the line icon, and type the initial coordinates “50,50” then click the ENTER key.
2. Type “@20<45” then click the ENTER key.
To draw a circle with a set radius:
1. Click the “Circle - Centre + Radius” icon, and enter the centre coordinates “50,50” then click
the ENTER key.
2. Type the radius preceded by @, “@20”, then click the ENTER key.
To check the distance of a line, use the Assist  Distance menu command or click the Distance
toolbox button. When you measure the distance of a line, you see a dialog box similar to the following:
DGD Tool – Datgel

Click OK to close the dialog box. If you use the Assist  Line Distance menu option, it will give you
the distance of the polyline segment that you are in.
The Grid button on the Settings toolbox allows you to place a grid on your drawing area
background. In the Grid Spacing dialog box, enter a number for spacing the grid points:
Click OK to view the grid on the workspace.
22.13.10 Selecting Entities

Selecting entities works the same way in gIDraw as it does in most CAD programs. In gINT, when you
select an entity, it changes colour to indicate that it is selected.
DGD Tool – Datgel

You can select numerous entities by clicking on the mouse and dragging across the entities. If you go
from left to right, you are specifying a non-crossing window and only the entities that are totally
enclosed within the window are selected. A crossing window, which is right to left, will select any entity
that is enclosed within the window or that crosses the window.
22.13.11 Copy and Move

1. Select the circle, by clicking on the line. It will turn green
2. Select the Copy button in the bottom right of the screen
3. Select snap to Centre
4. Click on the circle polyline
5. Select Snap to Grid
6. Click on the page to the right of the circle location, the copy of the circle will appear here
Move is similar.
22.13.12 Copy and Cut to Buffer

These copy or move entities between pages. This can be any drawing page in the current instance of
gINT. Similar to the Copy example, but this time click on Copy to Buffer or Cut to Buffer
22.13.13 Polyline Properties

 Background fill
 Fill
 Line type, colour and thickness
DGD Tool – Datgel

22.13.14 General Commands
The majority of commands in gINT are verb-noun commands. This is when you tell the program what
you want to do and on what you want to act. For example, if you want to erase a polyline or draw a
circle. There are limited noun-verb commands where you first tell the program what you want to act on,
and then you are given a choice of commands that you can perform on the selected entity.

22.17 Utilities
In this section, we will discuss the UTILITIES application group and the purpose of each of the
applications. The UTILITIES applications are primarily program maintenance applications, designed to
help streamline some of the database processes in gINT.
22.17.1 Repair/Compact Databases

Occasionally, databases get corrupted. If that happens in gINT, you can use this application to repair
the file. In addition, this utility removes deleted records. Like most databases, the records are not
actually deleted in the Microsoft ACCESS files that gINT uses, they are marked as deleted and not
shown.
DGD Tool – Datgel

We recommend using this utility on your library file once a month to repair and compact the file. It is a
good idea to do the same for large, long-running projects. When you click the Repair/Compact
Databases application tab, you see the following dialog box:
To repair/compact a database, you would enter the database name in the Files text box, or click the
browse button to select the file. Instead of browsing for a file, you can select one of the following
options:
 Library to repair/compact the current library.

 Current Project to repair/compact the current project database.
 Setup to repair/compact your SETUP.GSH file.
After choosing your files, you would select from one of the following options:
 Convert Access 97 files to Access 2000 (default) to convert the files to Access 2000.
ACCESS 2000 handles the transition between double and single byte environments better than
ACCESS '97. gINT versions 5 and 6 work equally well with ACCESS '97, 2000, or XP version
files.
 Keep same database version to keep the current version of Access and not convert the files
to Access 2000.
 The Remove gIDraw Pages with no entities option removes all empty gIDraw pages,
regardless of the name. The Remove Pages named ">Unnamed<" option removes all library
pages. Both options apply only to library files. Click the Execute when you are ready to
repair/compact the database.
For further study, select the Help  Contents  Utilities Application Repair/Compact Databases
topic.
DGD Tool – Datgel

22.17.2 Print Object Lists
This application allows you to batch print the entire contents of all symbol, graphic report, and drawing
libraries.
To print, just move the file(s), from the Available Objects list to the Objects to Print list using the
arrow buttons and then click Execute. Select your print specifications in the dialog box that displays:
For further study, go to Help  Contents  Utilities Application Print Object Lists topic.
22.17.3 Convert Projects

Convert Projects allows you to convert existing projects to a different database structure using a data
template file and an optional correspondence file. The structural changes could be minor such as a
changed caption, ranging to major changes such as new tables and fields.
DGD Tool – Datgel

When you click on the Convert Projects application tab, you see a dialog box similar to the following:
Specify the target Data Template file. This is the file that stores the structure you want to convert the
projects to. The Correspondence File is used to map the old structures into the new and the lists of
projects (Convert Files) are the files you wish to convert. Click Execute to convert the files. For each
project file being translated, gINT will:
1. Create a temporary file with the structure of the specified Data Template.
2. Copy the data from the project file to the temporary file according to the mapping specified in
the Correspondence File.
3. Rename the original project file to <original name>.ORG in the same folder. This creates a
backup file.
4. Rename the temporary file to the name of the original project file <original name>.GPJ. For
example, when you have converted "PROJECT1.GPJ", then "PROJECT1.GPJ" will be the new
file and "PROJECT1.ORG" will be the original file.
5. Remove the file name from the Source Files list and add it to the Converted Files list,
appending "OK" if the conversion was successful, "Failed" if there was a fatal problem (such as
not being able to open the file,) or "Cancelled" if Cancel was clicked during a conversion.
6. Display a full report after all files have been converted.
Note: If a field in a project file is not mapped to the Data Template through the Correspondence File,
the data contained in that field will be lost. Do not delete the backup files until you are sure the
converted projects are correct.
For further study, select Help  Contents  Utilities Application Convert Projects.

22.19 Writing Queries
If you have some knowledge of SQL (Structured Query Language), you can create reports containing a
series of commands that filter and manipulate your data at output time. Queries are created in INPUT
using the Tools  Queries menu option and OUTPUT using the File  Queries menu option.
22.19.1 Examples of Queries

select [STRATA_MAIN].[PointID], [STRATA_MAIN].[Depth],
[STRATA_MAIN].[Bottom], [STRATA_MAIN].[Graphic] from [STRATA_MAIN]
(Note: use CTRL + right mouse button on the Paste button to paste table name only)
The above will return a list of BH numbers, top depths and legend codes. Note column headers are
taken from the fieldname caption. This can be printed or exported to a file (e.g. XLS).
To order the data by key fields, insert the following after the existing code. Click ‘Edit’ button to amend
query.
order by [STRATA_MAIN].[PointID], [STRATA_MAIN].[Depth]
To add a filter, insert the following after the existing code. before the order by. Click ‘Edit’ button to
amend query.
where [STRATA_MAIN].[Graphic] like '4*'
For multiple filters add
and [STRATA_MAIN].[Depth] < 5.0

This will return all of the depths where with a Sand legend and is above 5m depth.
DGD Tool – Datgel

A further example where the header is not a caption, and the use of aggregate functions:
select count(*) as [Number of Points],

sum([POINT].[HoleDepth]) as [Total length drilled]
from [POINT]
Will give a table as follows (example)
Number of Points Total length drilled
Now make this query more complex by adding group by Hole Type
select [POINT].[Type] as [Type], count(*) as [Number of Points],

sum([POINT].[HoleDepth]) as [Total length drilled]
from [POINT]
group by [POINT].[Type]
The SQL expression is given a ‘Name’ and ‘Description’ for subsequent use.

22.20 Coordinate Tool in gINT Professional Plus

This allows the user to assign a coordinate system to a project, and gINT will then automatically
calculate Latitude and Longitude in WGS84 for each PointID. This data in stored on two fields on the
POINT table.
Say you have Latitude and Longitude data to WGS 84, and wish to calculate East and North to a
particular coordinate system. Under this scenario you should enter data into POINT fields WGS84
Latitude and WGS84 Longitude, then define a coordinate system on the PROJECT table, and East and
North will be calculated.
Say you wish to convert the coordinate system of a set of data. First define the source coordinate
system on the PROJECT table, and the POINT fields WGS84 Latitude and WGS84 Longitude will
calculate. Then delete then clear the Coordinate System field on the PROJECT table, and clear the East
and North fields on the POINT table. Finally, assign the new coordinate system on the PROJECT table and
the new East and North will automatically calculate.
You will also need to set the Coordinate Unit field on the PROJECT table appropriately.
The Elevation Offset field on PROJECT is used to relate elevation datum between projects. Say one
project uses LAT for near shore boreholes, another project uses AHD for onshore boreholes, and you
wish to present a fence diagram using AHD using boreholes from both projects. In the near shore
project, you should set the Elevation Offset field to correct offset value for the location of work, e.g. 0.524
(for Williamstown, Victoria)
gINT Professional Plus V8i (select series 2) 8.3.3 has a new feature that facilitates user defined
coordinate systems created using Bentley Map. See https://www.datgel.com/gint-faq for the procedure.
22.21 Exercise to define a coordinate system

1. If need be enable Coordinate fields from Tables > Coordinate Fields. This adds fields to the
PROJECT and POINT tables.
DGD Tool – Datgel

2. Go to POINT table, and delete and values in WGS84 Latitude and WGS84 Longitude. Delete and
data for East and North where the values are not in the order of 26#### and 626####.
3. On Project table, click on the Coordinate System browse button, and configure:
4. Set Coordinate Units to Metres
5. Move to the Point table, and you will be asked what to calculate. Select Yes, to calculate
Lat/Long from East/North.

23 gINT Civil Tools Tutorial
23.1 Aim
This tutorial explains everyday tasks you may do in gINT Civil Tools, such as create a 2D map, create a
3D visualisation of gINT data, generate a terrain surface, and export to 3D PDF. We will not delve into
all functionality. To gain more knowledge it is recommend you read the gINT Civil Tools Help and do a
MicroStation training course.
23.2 What is gINT Civil Tools?

gINT Civil Tools is a power product (standalone application based on the MicroStation platform) that is
delivered with gINT Pro and Pro Plus – it uses a gINT Pro or gINT Pro Plus license. It allows gINT
users to load gINT data in 2D models (mapping workflow for drilling plan creation and preliminary
studies), as well as in 3D for subsurface interpretation and BIM workflows.
gINT Civil Tools can connect to the gINT database (Access or SQL Server) to query, display in plan,
display in 3D and display in a Civil profile any borehole from the gINT database. Additionally, you can
create a MicroStation terrain model representation from a selection of or all points in your project for a
given type of lithology. A smoother surface may also be generated by using an interpolation algorithm
that generates a smoother and more attractive terrain model.

o 2017-07 (July) gINT SIG - gINT Civil Tools Essential for Subsurface Evaluation
23.3 gINT Civil Tools Licensing

The important thing to note about licensing is you must install and use the gINT Civil Tools product level
that corresponds to your licensed gINT product level.
 gINT Logs - doesn't have a license for gINT Civil Tools

 gINT Professional - ensure you install and use only gINT Civil Tools Professional
 gINT Professional Plus - ensure you install and use only gINT Civil Tools Professional Plus
When you have gINT Civil Tools open it is using a gINT License. Having both gINT and gINT Civil
Tools open at the same time on the same PC counts as one license use.
If you don't heed this you will get Quarterly Term License invoices for your use of the wrong gINT Civil
Tools product level.
23.4 WorkSpace and WorkSet

A Workspace is a collection of projects, standards, and other related resources. You may have a
Workset for each client which includes the clients CAD standard files. A WorkSet is a like a project in
gINT. Each Workspace in MicroStation CONNECT will have its own set of Worksets. Once you select
a Workspace the Worksets for that Workspace will be available for selection in the drop-down list.
